MMX Communications

Project Description

MMX Communications had an existing Magento store and wanted to add additional stores for one of their clients. The stores needed to be B2B focussed, with login enforced before access to product information.

Additionally the stores’ products needed to be updated from their Sage 1000ERP system and orders placed on the Magento stores needed to update their Sage system. This needed to happen in almost real time.

We quickly identified that their current Windows/IIS hosting environment wouldn’t work well so helped MMX set up a new environment, initially by introducing Apache, but ultimately migrating them to Apache on Linux. We were then able to set up the additional stores and implemented changes to ensure that the stores met the client’s requirements. This included template and code changes, performance optimisation and installation of various extensions to provide sub account functionality.

We also wrote a Magento extension to import and output files in Sage 1000 friendly format automatically every five minutes.
